Hi kelvin... sorry didn't reply sooner, I've been working all day! It isn't looking good here tomorrow.. Maybe just enough wind in the
morning for a kitesurf but nothing great... I certainly wouldn't make the trip up if I were you.

Theres a bit here this morning...around 15 knots, but it is forecast to be gone by the afternoon.. And I shall be working all day
anyway.
You never know though, tomorrows SE may make it into the estuary and swing around to Easterly in which case it could be good. I'll be
there if it is... Hope it works at Newgale for you.

What a waste of time that was. The wind settled at around 13 knots so I went over there, set up the 15m kite, launched it walked to the
water edge and boompf (yep, that is a word!) off it dropped to 7 knots... Grrrrr.
Packed up, pfaffed around rigging my new 6.7m sail so that I know what settings I need for the extension etc and then came home... No
doubt it will fill in again now, but with so much work to do I can't afford to mess around on the beach waiting for the wind to sort
itself out.
Andy... Tides should be OK in the estuary all day long as they are only little... If the wind is easterlyenough that is.

I know, its the biggest sail I've ever owned and though it was massive, until other on here started talking about the 9.5m sails and
10.3m sails!!.. Makes mine look like a little tiddler again!
I'm hoping to use it on my 90 litre Mistral Heat with a 32cm Freestyle fin which I'm still waiting for... Not that I'll be doing any
'freestyle' of course, excpet for a few freestyle dismounts now and then.
